Under the legal weed laws, property owners are allowed to ban the “smoking, vaping or aerosolizing” of any cannabis item on their properties, including inside individual units.
The law also applies to condominium associations, though bans on smoking weed must have the support of over 50% of unit owners in order to take effect.
According to Census data, more than 37% of New Jerseyans live in some kind multi-family housing, including mobile homes.
But it's more than likely your lease already prohibits smoking of any kind — including cigarettes, vaping and, now, marijuana, said Derek Reed, a landlord rights attorney and past president of the Property Owners Association, a trade group for property owners and managers.
"Those no-smoking provisions expand upon not only cigarettes or cigars but anything that's lit, burned and inhaled," Reed said. "So even though marijuana is now legal at certain levels and people are free to smoke it, a housing provider could still prohibit smoking inside a living space or a common area if it's specified in the lease."
